If you're feeling overwhelmed by information, anxious about birth, or unsure who to turn to for truly judgment-free support — you’re not alone.

I’m Charlotte, a birth and postnatal doula, hypnobirthing teacher, and the founder of The Smart Doula. I specialise in helping people like you feel calm, confident, and genuinely supported as you move through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenting.

When we work together, you’ll feel seen and heard — never rushed, never pressured. Just held in calm, evidence-based care that centres you.

What You Can Expect

Working with me means:

• Feeling safe and understood — whatever your birth preferences or family shape.
• Turning fear into confidence — with a plan that fits you, not a generic checklist.
• Having someone in your corner — whether it’s navigating NHS systems, understanding your options, or simply texting at 3am when your mind won’t stop racing.
• A grounded, calm presence — before, during, and after your birth.

Many clients come to me feeling unsure, anxious, or like they’re “not the kind of person who hires a doula.” Almost all of them end up saying the same thing: “I can’t imagine doing this without you.”

Why I Do This

I believe that how you feel during your birth matters just as much as what happens. You deserve to feel in control, connected, and cared for. That’s why I’m here — not to push an agenda, but to walk beside you with empathy, skill, and a deep respect for your choices.
